Year of the Unicorn by Andre Norton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ok, this novel was my first-ever read by Andre Norton, who (as I have now discovered) wrote roughly a million books and is one of the grandmothers of science fiction as we know it. YEAR OF THE UNICORN (1965) was part of her larger Witch World series, but reads just fine as a standalone. Guys, when I tell you that the phenomenal weirdness and wonderfulness of this woman’s imagination floored me, I mean it. Classic fantasy and yet experimental even by today’s standards.
P.s. There are zero unicorns in this book, but don’t let that deter you.
And Andre, I hope you are resting in peace. Your stories live on.
